Ooooooo, the NFL vs Rugby question! Lol
This is my personal view on this, don't take it to heart right. First let's give a round of applause to Britian, Ireland, and New Zealand. They all deserve it. Is there really a comparison though? Rugby is international. A player can go almost anywhere in the world and play, showing off all the talents that he or she is capable of, unrestricted to one position like NFL football. This limited space and practice also creates a slim window for NFL players.
There is no question which game I enjoy watching, its just a better thought out game, and it has nothing to do with "big hits". The "big hits" catch your eye, but those of course lose appeal, and just become frosting on cake. Yummy big hits!

Another question comes to mind, "Is Rugby for America?"
I say No. Sorry, I dont really think it fits in here for a wide variety of reasons. I think the NFL is fine with American ways. It's something to watch on the weekends. This discussion can get pretty long, which is why I cut right down to it.

Britain is perfect for Rugby, hats off to Britain. Samoa is perfect for Rugby, it's a Rugby nation, and the culture fits "Rugby culture".
New Zealand is right now a perfect Rugby nation, and yes, even Aussies are good for some Rugby. The United States is not a Rugby nation though unfortunately. It could have been in the 1970s possibly, but it would be virtually impossible for it to become a Rugby nation now.

Playing Rugby, and being a Rugby nation are two different things, but go hand in hand right. This discussion can get pretty deep into social structure, law, and politics, but let's not. The Americas are simply not setup for the "Rugby culture", it would be like setting up a beer store, then watching people get arrested outside that beer store, it just can't be handled properly.
Also, "Why even play the game if ya just plan to dangle below the top 15." In order to get to the top, ya have to truly be a rugby nation. In fact, being a "Rugby Nation", should be a top 10 spot requirement lol.
Cheers all, and stay happy.
